By means of mathematical planning of the experiment optimal concentrations of components of the nutrient medium were found for the biosynthesis of phytotoxic metabolites by the soil fungus Myrothecium verrucaria VKMF-183. The composition of the optimized medium were: glucose--8%, KH2PO4--0.05%, asparagine--0.35%, ammonium tartrate--0.07%, MgSO4--0.03%, solution of trace elements--0.1%. The accumulation of phytotoxic metabolites in the above medium was 2.4 times higher than in the initial medium.
